Stans project bike

Post by stan1396 »

This has been my project for the past 18mths.Its a Cagiva Mito 125cc frame and I have fitted a Honda 600cc single in it to make a 'super single'. The worst job has been sourcing all the parts as it was an e bay special.It should handle really well,as long as I have my engine in the right place-it could not go any where else.The best feature for me is the oil in the frame conversion,I got a mate,Mickey, to weld in a tank at the top of the frame and 2 take off points at the bottom to make the frame the oil tank.Main benefit being that the large surface area of the frame acts as an oil cooler.The Honda engine is of course,air cooled ,and is noted for wear in the cam bearings due to oil starvation.Hopefully the 3-4 ltrs it now has will alleviate that! It is still not on the road-just a little bit more to do.
should be good fun! Stan. Cant upload photos for some reason?
